YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAhead of a vote to potentially lift a 20-year ban on mining operations in northern Minnesota, Save the Boundary Waters held a press conference outside the Minnesota Capitol on Wednesday.
Senator Tina Smith and other stakeholders discussed the resolution, which they said “will allow the Trump Administration to fast-track a foreign-owned sulfide-ore copper mining project that has been proven to be a raw deal for Minnesotans and Americans.”
In contrast, the lawmaker who introduced the resolution, Rep. Pete Stauber, said in a press release: "I’m thrilled the House has passed H.J. Res. 140 to repeal Biden’s illegal mining ban that directly threatened our way of life. Growing up in the Northland, I’ve seen firsthand how these radical policies kill jobs and hurt families."
